24-70 vs 24-105 (Great Debate!?)

[clemmb]

My concern is that the 24-105 is supposedly soft and not so good wide open...

I have seen some graphs that show the 24-105 getting softer wide-open.

Take a look at my "A walk in the park" thread. The 3rd and 5th image are my 24-105 wide open. Look pretty sharp to me.
Also the graphs is see on the slrgear.com/reviews shows the 24-70 to be softer wide open.


I must say though that I agree with you that primes are very hard to beat. I love my 100 f2.0 and I have been thinking of getting a 50 1.4 as well.


Decisions can be so tough!
